4.0
Another excellent novel by Sally Hepworth. I always enjoy her works and this one was no exception. A family drama again, all about a father’s remarriage to a much younger woman. This was well plotted and with fleshed out characters - especially the daughters. It was good to see a character with anxiety, and how that was dealt with by her family members. I wasn’t sure of what would happen at the end at all, and indeed am still wondering if it was a red herring at the end! Highly recommended. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

Sally did it again! I could not stop reading this one. Absolutely unputdownable! How is it possible that each book is better than the last?7
